§ MR. RAMSAY MACDONALD (Leicester)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to state what the result of his representations to the Government of the Congo Free State has been regarding the refusal of that Government to grant or sell sites for Protestant missions within the State.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYNo communications on the subject have passed with the Congo Government since the correspondence which was presented to the House in Papers Africa No. 2. In the event of annexation being delayed beyond the present session of the Belgian Parliament, the Congo Government will be pressed to give effect to the assurance referred to in their note of 28th March, last.
